SigningHub supports performing server-side signing with eID Easy. eID Easy provides a simple API for Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) methods, Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) methods, and strong customer authentication for Remote Signing Service Providers that do not support the CSC interface.
To perform eID Easy signing, you must configure an eID Easy connector, in SigningHub Admin.
Configure the connector in a signing profile, in SigningHub Admin.
Configure a signing profile using the connector, in SigningHub Admin.
Add Signing Server to your enterprise user role that you want to use for eID Easy signing.
Allow the Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) and/or Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) level of assurance against the user role.
Open a document having a Qualified Electronic Signature and/or Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) field and sign the document using the eID Easy Signing Server.
Make the following configurations to a connector in SigningHub Admin:
In the "Basic Information" section, choose "eID Easy" as the "Provider".

Against your user role, in the "Document Settings" tab, add the Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) and/or Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) levels of assurance.
To perform eID Easy signatures, follow the below-mentioned steps:
From the document listing, open a document having a Qualified Electronic Signature and/or Advanced Electronic Signature field that you want to sign.
Click on the signature field and click "Sign".
Select the eID Easy Signing Server.
Upon clicking the "Sign" button, the eId widget will appear. Based on the country configured in the user's personal settings and the level of assurance of the signature field, the signing methods will appear in the dialogue box. Select a signing method to proceed with.
Based on the selected signing method, complete the authorization process. Once the authorization is complete the document will be signed.
After the authorization is complete, the eID Easy API uses a webhook to send the signing certificate details to SigningHub which is used to fetch the "Signed by" information. The webhook URL, "[Web_URL]/v4/custom-cades-digest-webhook", is configured against the "Custom CAdES digest webhook" property in the eID Easy.
After signing the document, you can view "Signature Verification".
The signature Policy is not supported with eID Easy signing.
The eID Easy Signing Server will only appear if the level of assurance of the signature field is set to Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) and/or Advanced Electronic Signature (AES).
When both Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES) and Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES) are selected as the level of assurance for a signature field, signing with an AES-associated method in the eID Easy widget will display the level of assurance as QES in the workflow history, due to a system limitation on eID Easy's side.
Bulk signing is not supported with the eID Easy Server.
The signing logs are maintained under "User Activity Logs", "Workflow History", and "Workflow Evidence Report".
